Once my friends and I had a conversation about bizarre and at the same time cute grandmother's instructions. Imagine my surprise when a large stream of information on this topic was poured on me. The friends shared the instructions of their grandmothers, and also told what they learned from their acquaintances. In general, I tried to remember everything I heard and fix it right here!
Very often we do not like the advice of our grandmothers. And only over the years, we understand that they were right, but we were not!
What did our beloved grandmothers teach us?
“You need to look for happiness within yourself. You don't have to chase men for this. No one will make a woman happy until she finds happiness and harmony in herself. "
“No need to envy, gossip, get angry. Nothing will change from this, except that your internal state will worsen, and wrinkles will appear on your skin.
"Don't slouch, you should always walk with your back straight." Very nice instruction. Grandmothers, they are. Mine, for example, forced me to walk with a book on my head, and also put it against the wall, and it was necessary for the shoulder blades to touch it. And you know, thanks to my grandmother, I have no problems with posture.
"Do not get into other people's conflicts, and do not make comments to strangers, remain polite and tactful under any circumstances."
"Do not sit on the bed during the day, and eat only in the dining room or living room, and not in the kitchen - all this is bad form."
“You have to sit straight at the table. The elbows should be pressed to the body, and only hands with cutlery should move. " Grandma tucked books under my arms so that I developed the habit of sitting and eating properly. At first I was angry because nothing worked, but then I got into the habit of sitting up straight and just as my grandmother said.
“You need to talk in a quiet voice, with an arrangement and clearly. There is no need to simplify words, we must speak correctly: not salary, but salary, etc. ”.
"Never go on a visit empty-handed, that's bad form."
“Never laugh loudly and too much. Instead, it's better to just smile, and more. A real young lady should stand on ceremony, i.e. be gentle and soft. "
“Always introduce yourself by name and patronymic. And always address people to you, even if it's a teenager. "
“Watch your elbows and knees, they should be soft and tender. Never have my floors on my lap, your appearance must be impeccable. " Grandmother advised to lubricate elbows and knees with lemon and wipe with a crepe de Chine handkerchief.
“Do not wear dark shoes during the day, this is bad form. Even if you just go to take out the trash, take care of your appearance, you have to look perfect. "
“A woman should always have a beautiful hairstyle. And even a little girl should be beautifully braided. " A friend of mine, who told about this instruction from her grandmother, always had long hair, and her two daughters also have braids to the waist. So, I have never seen them with their hair down, they always have some kind of intricate hairstyles. And it is really insanely beautiful!
Grandma... What associations do you have when you hear this word? I have the smell of pastries, the smile of a loved one, warm hugs, interesting stories about youth. I had a very good relationship with my grandmother, she was truly my dear and irreplaceable person.
It's so great that our grandmother's instructions resonated in our hearts. But as a child, all this seemed complete nonsense. Only over the years did I realize how wise my grandmother was! I'm sure you also have something to share under this post! Do not hesitate, I am very interested!
